FRINGE REVIEW: Raw Stitch

Nine women give frank and funny monologues on sexuality at its saltiest (sometimes literally, as in a bit about sucking in loads of sperm for its sodium chloride).

FRINGE REVIEW: Raw Stitch

POSTED: Saturday, September 15, 2012, 4:15 PM

Filed Under: Arts On the Fringe

Every year, there's hundreds and hundreds of performances at the Philly Fringe and Live Arts Festival, and unless it's one of the big shows, it's sometimes hard to tell what you're going to get. Here at Critical Mass we're sending writers to as many shows as we possibly can for 75 pocket-sized reviews over the course of the fest. Check back in with us at On The Fringe every day for real talk on what these things actually are!

SHOW: Raw Stitch

GROUP: Jaqueline Goldfinger

GENRE: Theater/monologues

ATTENDED: Fri., Sept. 14, 7 p.m.

CLOSES: Sat., Sept. 22

BRIEF SELF-DESCRIPTION: A pub play for the enthusiastically inebriated and sexually active. Nine spanking new monologues including Miss Coitus Interruptus, Double Slut Gene, and Hector Has Herpes (a Sing-A-Long STD PSA). A PBR, condoms, and dental dams included with the price of admission.

WE THINK: Eight Philly actresses (Amanda Schoonover, Miriam White, Corrina Burns, Bailey Shaw, Jennifer MacMillan, Hannah Van Sciver, Sarah Schol, Megan Slater) walk into a bar. There they meet Jacqueline Goldfinger’s texts and Anna Marquardt’s original songs for a night of poetic, character-driven ribaldry. Scratch that — these women hit up Quig’s Pub to talk frank and funny sexuality of the saltiest kind (sometimes literally, as in a bit about sucking in loads of sperm for its sodium chloride).
